Good morning.

I have designed an alarm notification pipeline that includes several **delay blocks**. When I attempt to **cancel** this Pipeline from the Gateway (_Services -\> Alarming -\> Pipelines -\> Pipeline Row -\> View Details_), it doesn't cancel. The same number of pipelines remains running. You can see this situation in the attached video:

I understand that it's not canceled because there's a **delay block running** , but It is confusing that after clicking "Cancel," the cancellation is confirmed, yet the pipeline actually continues running because a delay block is currently executing.  
It should be possible to **forcibly cancel** the pipeline from the gateway, even if a delay block is running. Imagine a design flaw causes multiple alarms to trigger simultaneously, executing the same pipeline, which includes a delay block lasting several minutes. Currently, there is no way to force the cancellation of those pipelines. I believe the only solution is to restart the Ignition service at the operating system level.

Best Regards.
